Siheyuan: Rebirth 52 years later, escaping from famine in Beijing

However, Jia Dongxu turned a deaf ear to this and muttered to himself:

"It doesn't make sense! I was attacked just after I lay down that night, but the two of them spent the whole night safely? Why on earth did that happen?"

Jia Dongxu jumped up excitedly, "Haha! I understand! The Lu family, the couple must have been bitten by a poisonous snake and died in their sleep! God is so fair!"

After hearing what her husband said, Qin Huairu said in surprise: "You are not saying that Lu Weimin and Li Jing were really bitten to death by poisonous snakes?"

Jia Dongxu walked out excitedly, and Qin Huairu followed him out.

At this time, the door of Lu Weimin's house opened, and Lu Weimin and Li Jing walked out with smiles on their faces. Li Jing had already walked towards the gate of the yard.

"This..." Seeing this scene, Jia Dongxu was stunned.

At this time, Qin Huairu shouted loudly, "A snake is coming! A poisonous snake!" She saw a snake quickly jumped out of the room when Lu Weimin was about to close the door, which scared her so much that she stepped back.

"There really is a snake, and it's a poisonous one. Hurry up and pick up the stick! Don't let it bite us!" Everyone around was scared.

Lu Weimin was also frightened and stepped back repeatedly.

An agile neighbor quickly picked up a stick and hit the snake.

But the poisonous snake was extremely agile and easily dodged it and quickly entered the Jia family next door.

Everyone was stunned seeing all this.

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu, in particular, looked pale and could barely stand.

Finally, Qin Huairu regained consciousness. She rushed into the house screaming, "No, Banggeng'er and Xiaodang are still in the house!"

Qin Huairu was the first to rush into the house. Although she was scared, she didn't think about anything else for the safety of her children. She quickly rushed out holding the two children.

After Qin Huairu ran out, she gasped for breath and only then did she feel real fear.

"Please help us, more people will make the problem easier to solve. Find this poisonous snake and don't let it harm the elderly or children at home." Qin Huairu said to the neighbors around her.

The residents thought about it and felt that it made sense. If the venomous snake could get from the Lu family to the Jia family, it could certainly come to their own homes. Men could resist it, but women, the elderly, and children would be in danger.

So many people started to help find the snake.

Some people even put on rain boots and walked into Jia's house with wooden sticks to search.

After about two hours, not only was the snake not caught, but even no trace of it was found.

Gradually, because the snake was no longer in their home, many neighbors began to relax and were no longer so active.

"We searched everywhere but couldn't find any trace of it. Maybe the snake got scared away."

"Yeah, I had the same idea. It's such a small area, and with so many people looking for it, it's impossible not to find it."

"Then let's leave a few people here to guard, and the others go home first to see what happens." "Okay, let's do as you say."

Everyone left, leaving only Jia Dongxu and his wife and Aunt Yi in the house.

At the beginning, we were braver because there were more people around, but now there are only three of us left. Everyone has become nervous and their bodies tremble at the slightest sound.

They continued searching for about an hour before finally giving up.

"The snake might have really run away," said Jia Dongxu.

"I hope it's really gone!" Qin Huairu said, her tone full of worry and prayer.

"Since things have come to this, I'll leave first. Come find me if you need anything!"

"Okay! Thank you, Aunt Yi. Now that you're done, go back and rest!"

Qin Huairu saw Aunt Yi out, then turned back and said to Jia Dongxu:

"Dongxu, you haven't been to the factory to work for more than 30 hours. This is not a good situation. Would you consider going this afternoon?"

Jia Dongxu thought his wife's words made sense: "I'm planning to do the same! I'll go back to the factory this afternoon to take a look!" But then Qin Huairu frowned even deeper: "Dongxu, what are we going to do in the future? Without an arm, I'm afraid you won't be able to do your current job! If we lose this salary, how are we going to live?"

He did not give a specific answer immediately. "I don't know now. But I will go back to the factory to understand the situation before making a decision. You don't have to worry. I am a government employee. Even if I am missing an arm, they cannot fire me at will."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu felt a little relieved.

In the afternoon, Jia Dongxu walked out of his house and headed straight for the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. "Jia Dongxu, your hand...what's wrong..." The security guard asked in surprise when he saw Jia Dongxu's empty sleeves.

Although he was extremely disgusted by the mention of his painful past, in front of every caring friend, Jia Dongxu could only suppress his disgust and said lightly: "Something happened." Then he walked into the factory. The workers around him gave him strange looks when they saw him, which made him feel even more irritated.

As we approached the first workshop, the feeling of oppression became stronger and stronger.

When he entered the workshop, almost all eyes were focused on him at the same time, with different expressions. A co-worker asked with concern: "Dongxu, what's wrong with your arm?" Jia Dongxu felt helpless and annoyed, and almost wanted to lose his temper.

After some efforts, Jia Dongxu finally found the person in charge of the workshop. "Old Zhao, I am afraid that I am not suitable for my original position in my current condition. I have a wife and children to support at home. What will I do in the future?" When Jia Dongxu said this, tears flashed in his eyes and his voice trembled.

Director Zhao, the workshop leader, was also moved by this situation. After a little thought, he said:

"Dongxu, don't worry. Although we have encountered misfortune, the organization will not abandon any employee. Go home and rest first. I will report your situation to the higher-ups and then make the next arrangements."

After hearing this, Jia Dongxu breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face. "Director Zhao, you are really my savior, thank you for your care!" Director Zhao immediately reported the situation to his superiors, and soon returned to tell Jia Dongxu, asking him to go to the factory director's office for further instructions.

In the director's office, Jia Dongxu seemed respectful but a little nervous. "Hello, Director." This was his first time to visit Director Yang alone.

Director Yang looked at his injured arm and asked, "Dongxu, what happened to cause this?" Jia Dongxu responded quickly, "Director, I encountered an accident and had to remove my hand to save my life." The two then had a brief conversation and learned the details.

Director Yang proposed two solutions: "You worked on the production line before, right? Now relying on one hand is no longer suitable for the original position. There are two suggestions for you to consider: first, adjust to a suitable position according to your personal wishes, such as light physical work such as sanitation cleaning or logistics support; second,
